Pros

Met some cool people, and the christmas night out was a laugh and a half. Otherwise nothing.

Cons

No breaks unless you smoked. Alone except for manager who was in 10am-4pm on weekdays, so you couldnt go to the toilet every other time. Working alone despite the fact it's clearly a 2 person job. Most of the food on shelves was expired because 1 person didnt have time to go through it. Had to work christmas day (although to be fair the pay was doubled). Got sacked for doing domething the manager said was okay and then changed her mind on.

Pros

The best thing about working for Certas is that they are forever making people redundant, so you likely won't have to endure the management team for very long anyway.

Cons

Poor leadership ruins the role The day-to-day work itself is manageable, but the leadership in the National Stock Management and Operations Support department makes it a toxic place to work. The Manager is a textbook micromanager with zero people skills, making it impossible to work with any autonomy. To make matters worse, the Assistant Manager is a bully who creates a hostile environment. I cannot recommend working under this specific leadership team. The pay is poor and only just about scrapes minimum wage. The low salary is absolutely not worth the stress that comes with the job.

Pros

Good for the CV as the lack of processes and systems means you are doing work that would usually be reserved for those Senior level wages.

Cons

Certas is part of DCC, because DCC is just an investment company, they fundamentally have no idea how to operate a company and lack the internal knowledge to be able to hire technical staff - some really strange hirings of Directors.
